After a drenching 0.5 inches of rain last nigh, we are busy protecting the turf from the upcoming humid weather. This is the time of year where we try to not start any big projects and keep all our focus on the grass. The hot and sticky weather looks to be in town until Saturday when we might get a short break.
Starting yesterday, the construction crew began sodding the 18th green complex. They have installed bentgrass for the fairway extensions, low cut bluegrass for the intermediate cut and turf type tall fescue for the rough. They also installed some fine fescue on the bunker edges. We plan to finish sodding by tonight but might need to purchase a small quantity more next week to fix some construction wounds.
